Will Obama pull a Vladimir Putin?

[Farbin Kaiber]

So I got to thinking about it, and, with all the changes and reforms the Big O is making to our governmental system, maybe some time after he finagles his second term out of Congress, he will end up making a way to become Secretary of State or Vice President. What if we are stuck with him for twenty years, like the Russians will undoubtedly be with their "Man".

[mrsleeve]

Mr KGB, talked the law making body into transferring much of the power he had as Prez of Russia into the position of Prime Minster, and then got appointed to the PM ship which just happens to be for life.

That a little different than what 0 can do here, congress cant arbitrarily move the power of govt around like that. but you know that.

Sure we may get stuck with the fucking idiot in other positions but he will never have the same influence again,

[Farbin Kaiber]

Shush, I'm trying to stir up debate here.

[dvs909]

i dont think hes competent enough to get that done.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Well maybe Andy Stern could still be pulling the strings.

Of any of the last few presidents he seems the most likely to try and push some power off to the other branches, balance things out a little. That might not be a bad thing.
He is a powerful public speaker, that is how he won the election. Another position which augments that talent but without the power to keep setting off the fearmongers would be ideal.

I'm honestly more worried about how long it will take Pelosi to just fuck off.

While I compleatly agree with that last sentence, Where the fuck have you been, the last 18 months and what the fuck are you smoking to come to that conclusion?????

[reelop19]

He sucks at public speaking when he has no script and to answer the OP's question...no he's gone. Whomever is pulling the strings on this president knows they can't do much more with him. As arrogant as he is I just know he can't take this much more anyways. Those approval numbers are not very assuring

[Wiglaf]

not hitting the conservative blogs as hard as you guys

edit:
I am a bit disappointed in performance, but not enough to demonize the guy. Most of what I hear is totally overblown, people who already hate him preaching to the choir.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Here is to hoping a Republican will come in at 2012, and repeal the fuck out of everything he has done, with a national vote to show the Dem's what is really wanted.

[Wiglaf]

What is really wanted can't seem to be delivered by republicans either. An independent win might be the wakeup call these asses need.

^ But that won't happen, so we will be forced to live inside this epic game of tug-o-war. I don't see three ropes any time soon.

If things don't shape up, were going to see another Civil War or war with China.

Specially if N. Korea doesn't stop blowing up S. Korean ships. It's already been taken to the U.N. Security Council and S. Korea gave heavy, moderate warnings that such things wont be tolerated by S. Korea and the United States.. If it continues, China will have to pick a side (no question who their "man" is). The question is, would BHO even bother backing up our allies? Or is S. Korea worthier than Israel?

Progressives suck.
